Officer recovering in hospital after hitting horse with patrol car

A father of four who works two law enforcement jobs was seriously injured after hitting a horse with his patrol car Monday night in Carroll County.

Daryl Browning, a full-time Haralson County sheriff’s deputy for five years, also works as a Mount Zion police officer. That’s where he was working when his patrol car struck a horse, breaking his hip and bones in his face, Haralson County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jim Beck said.
